"So you're saying… if the ground could actually handle it, you could keep this ritual circle running nonstop?" Ethan asked, honestly impressed.
"Obviously," Henry said, chest puffed out. "As long as the crystal cores haven't burned through all their energy, it'll keep running. And I only used Tier 5 cores just now. If we use higher-Tier cores, it can pull in even more mysterious energy."
Chris's eyes widened. "So if the ritual circle can run… does that mean we'll be able to absorb mysterious energy in the daytime to raise our Tier?"
"Yep," Henry said, grinning. "Exactly."
"Holy shit," Big Mike said, staring at him like Henry had just sprouted wings. "Henry, that's insane."
The others looked just as shocked.
Honestly, Henry really was a freak genius. With zero guidance, he'd managed to tinker his way into a ritual circle that was actually practical.
